Halloween is coming so I'm thinking of posting some stuff to appreciate our most loved night of the year.
Here's the first one. By surfing TeeFury website I came across this wonderful project by a designer called Jared Moraitis of Pop-Monkey. As I'm both a zombie and Obama fan, I find myself in the position of appreciating this work of art as an appraisal to one of the most influential and beloved statesman of the world modern history. If you think the tee's just offensive please read the following excertp from the designer interview at this page.
There are many possible meanings and interpretations of this design, but if you're assigning some sort of racist, hate-filled vibe to it, then I suggest you take a long walk off a short pier. This is a commentary about rabid Obama fan-mania coupled with his missteps as a new leader, as well as a commentary about appropriation art. I'll leave the details up to your imagination. This is not a photo-manipulation of that other Obama piece, though it's obviously based on it -- it's completely hand-drawn from scratch, then rendered in Illustrator
Enjoy!
